Toyin Falola (Jr.) and Joseph Friesen (TFJF) Scholarship 

The Toyin Falola (Jr.) and Joseph Friesen Scholarship recognizes that many brilliant, hardworking, and deserving Nigerian young people are unable to enter or remain in university due to lack of funds to complete their studies. The TFJF Scholarship this year aims to financially help second- to third-year mathematics and software students at First Technical University. The award will be for 3,000 US dollars per candidate, divided up into annual installments over two years (1,500 US dollars per year). There will be two scholarship winners. The goal will be to cover tuition, books, and other school related expenses.
